Subject: Re: List of major modes?

    So how about having a property `emacs-mode' on symbols, with valid values
    (major minor major-minor nil)?  Getting a list of major modes would then
    be trivial.  (OK, for Emacs 23. ;-)

That is straightforward, but it would be substantial trouble.
Is it worth the trouble?

What benefit would it provide?  What was the reason for asking
for this?
